not sure if it'll suit your needs (and we have no idea if it works on mobile), but we find that add-ons that function as tab-based account containers/tab-based cookie profiles avoid this issue, because the different cookie-sessions are stored in seperate browser tabs or tab-types, and you actually do use dw's native login interface for each account, it's just that you can leave them all logged in and switch back & forth between tab types instead.

the ones we use are for firefox and found here:

multi-account containers base addon

containers helper (improves container management)

...again, may not work for you, but just in case. <3

I'm often not mobile anyway - or not in any way that would involve log ins directly. If I'm mobile I'm pretty much exclusively using the reply by email function, since that way if I'm suddenly called away (which is a not infrequent occurrence) I can just let the email autosave hang on to what I've typed up, rather than hope I don't accidentally close/back out of the tab.

But I have heard of those options, yeah! I know some people who use them, and if things get super frustrating, I'll probably check them out.

yeah that all makes sense! and agreed - autosave functions are a lifesaver, heh. glad you've got some options available to you! we hope everything smooths out soon, and/or whatever you go with works well for you.
